celebrity makeup artists to make cheekbones pop and skin glow, the trick to
highlighting and contouring are now

- Highlight the bridge of your nose to
lighten the face, avoid the tip.
- Between the brows where a
furrow may appear.
- Then under the eyebrow arch to
lift the brow and brighten the eyes.
- On the high point of the
cheekbones to define the cheek.
- Highlight creases that create shadows
such as in the nasal fold area.
- Contour on each side of the nose to
make it look more slim and defined.
- On the tip of the nose in a V
shape to shorten the length.
- Under the jaw line to add definition
and slim the face.
- Around the hairline to warm the
face and shorten the forehead.
- Then one inch above the temple to
add depth to the face.
- Contour the underside of the cheekbone
to strengthen your bone structure.

correctly enhances your natural bone structure, giving you a defined yet
natural finish that's ideal for any
outing.
